Paintball fans have enjoyed the world's largest paintball event, Oklahoma D-Day, for years, while honoring U.S. war veterans throughout this premier sporting event. In this special re-enactment, participants will choose either German or Allied sides (the Allies include the British commonwealth, the Americans, and the French).
This popular paintball event, along with Oklahoma D-Day 2008, will take place at 66800 East 175th Road in Wyandotte, Oklahoma. For more information, visit D-Day Adventure Park or call 918-666-3411. Whenever you plan for a big paintball event at this venue, plan early because the popularity and energy increase every year! The event participation cost is $70 for D-Day 2008, which includes air for the week, automatic drawing entry, and free activity participation (no extra fees) except the sniper course ($18 extra).
Even if you can’t make it this year, you'll be able order a very special video documenting the event. This year, Double Six Productions will create an expanded video experience, approximately 80 to 90 minutes long, for this year’s Oklahoma D-Day event, which will take place Monday, June 9 through Sunday, June 15. This film production will offer behind the scenes footage and a high end production plus interviews and other in-depth features. Double Six Productions filmmakers Mike DeChant and Doug Gritzmacher shared more insight into this special production.
How many cameras/camera people are you bringing to the event?
One of the most interesting aspects of the D-Day event is the sheer size and scope of it. There are several fronts, units, commanders, command centers, tanks, planes, etc. So, a lot going on. We're still working out how we and what we're going to cover, but right now for the actual D-Day battle we're looking at least eight cameramen shooting with Panasonic professional HD cameras.
Do you plan to have stationary cameras (for interviews/people in the field/etc.)?
We'll have a camera crew with each of the command centers (one each for Axis and Allies). That's about as stationary as any crew will be, but we'll be doing interviews and profiles all week leading up to the big day.
